New NSF Grant- Dr. Guofei Gu

Dr. GuofeiGu, collaborator of the SGC, is leading a newly awarded project that received a grant of $3M from the NSF for researching collaboratively how enterprise, cloud and data-center networks are securely built and managed. The project will yield a new security system, Software-Defined Infrastructure Security OS (S2OS), which encapsulates security capabilities at both the host operating system (OS) and network levels, and will offer an easy to use, programmable security model for protecting applications from cyber threats.

Co-PIs: Dr. Don Porter, assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; Dr. Zhiqiang Lin, associate professor at the University of Texas at Dallas; Dr. Eric Keller, assistant professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; and Dr. HongXin Hu, assistant professor from Clemson University.
